Monday night’s 3-2 overtime loss for the Flyers continued to be a strong showcase for the youth on the team as the final roster decision draws slightly closer. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Rangers, Part 1.

Flyers captain Claude Giroux will play at left wing in Monday’s preseason game against the Rangers as roster battles heat up ahead of the final week of the preseason.

GM Ron Hextall announced the following roster moves on Saturday as the Flyers training camp roster continued to shrink in size, now down to 26 healthy players in camp.

With four preseason games in the books and a week of training camp down for the Flyers, Kevin Durso, Rob Riches and Dan Heaning analyze the team so far, check in on some of the position battles and look ahead to things to come in the final week of the preseason.

Six more players were placed on waivers, designated for the AHL. Forwards Greg Carey, Corban Knight and Phil Varone as well as defensemen Mark Alt, T.J. Brennan and Will O’Neil are all headed back to the Phantoms as part of the next round of cuts.

The 23-year-old Hagg has played three seasons with the Phantoms and before that he was playing among men in the Swedish league. And that experience has him on the inside track to making the Flyers roster as well.

The Philadelphia Flyers dressed practically an Opening Night lineup Thursday against the Boston Bruins, but it wasn’t enough as the Flyers fell 2-1 in overtime.

The Flyers announced a total of 18 cuts on Thursday, headlined by defenseman Phil Myers, who heads to the Phantoms, German Rubtsov and Carter Hart, who head back to juniors, bringing the camp roster to 36.

Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek, Wayne Simmonds, Sean Couturier and Brian Elliott will all make their preseason debuts as the Flyers take on the Boston Bruins on Thursday night from TD Garden at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

A first-round pick four years ago, Sam Morin may be one of the most unique players in the Flyers prospect pool. And it may be time to start increases the hype around him a little more.

The Flyers split their split-squad games against the Islanders on Wednesday, getting an overtime win in Allentown and falling in Brooklyn.

Among the 53 players left on the camp roster, the Flyers will split them into two teams for Wednesday night’s split-squad games against the New York Islanders. Both games, from Allentown and Brooklyn, start at 7 p.m.

It’s still early in camp, with just three days of practice and one preseason game in the books, but Oskar Lindblom and Nolan Patrick are getting every opportunity to be part of the Flyers roster. And so far, they are sticking with the veterans at camp.

The groups remained heavily the same at Tuesday’s practice for the Flyers, but the lines were not. Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier skated on the same line with Giroux playing the wing. The line of Oskar Lindblom, Nolan Patrick and Travis Konecny also skated together, just as they did for the team’s first preseason game on Sunday.

While everything is still in its early stages, Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol is keen on having his players be consistent no matter if they’re fighting for a roster spot or coming into another season as an NHL vet.

The Flyers announced that they have sent forward Anthony Salinitri to juniors and defenseman Frank Hora to the Phantoms, putting the training camp roster at 55 and had new groups for practice that shed some light on the potential final roster.

Ron Hextall confirmed the Flyers hiring of Dean Lombardi to a front-office role, reuniting the two from their time in Los Angeles.

The Islanders veteran-heavy lineup was able to rally from a 2-0 Flyers lead with John Tavares scoring two goals in a 3-2 overtime win for the Islanders on Sunday.

The Flyers preseason gets underway on Sunday afternoon with a matchup against the New York Islanders. The opening face-off is set for 1 p.m.

Not much changed on Day 2 from Flyers training camp. In fact, the intensity only picked up. Another day of drills and battles commenced on Saturday with both groups remaining the same and the lines remaining the same.

Friday marked the official on-ice open of Flyers training camp, as 57 players started the journey to making the Flyers roster for the 2017-18 season. The players were split into two groups taking the ice at different times. Here are a few notes from the day’s happenings.

This week on the Flyerdelphia Podcast, we look back at Wednesday night’s Rookie Game between the Flyers and New York Islanders and the players that stood out and gear up for the start of training camp and the preseason this weekend.

The Flyers have returned forwards Morgan Frost, Isaac Ratcliffe, Matthew Strome and Maksim Sushko back to their junior teams, GM Ron Hextall announced. This brings the Flyers training camp roster down to 57 entering Friday’s sessions to open camp.

Ron Hextall sent a message, and the team’s veterans may want to pay attention.

A closer look at 10 players from the Flyers Rookie Game against the Islanders in the Rookie Game Postgame Points.

The Islanders erased a 3-1 deficit in the closing minutes of the third and after surviving another flurry of chances in overtime, Mitchell Vande Sompel scored on a two-on-one to give the Islanders a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers in the Rookie Game on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center. 

The first taste of Flyers hockey comes on Wednesday night as the Flyers take on the New York Islanders in a rookie game from Wells Fargo Center.

There is a bit of added hype to rookie camp this season with a lot of new faces taking the ice for the first time in Flyers colors. A big reason for that hype is because of the offseason Ron Hextall had, leaving the door open for Flyers prospects to make the team.

The Flyers began their annual rookie showcase Monday as many of the team’s prospects took to the ice together. Many storylines are already unfolding as the first day wrapped up at Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, NJ.
